Scream Bloody Robbery Lyrics

Vance Or Towers Scream Bloody Robbery

Nine o'clock and gettin' ready to close
Mattie's liquor store on Seventh and Rose
When all of a sudden, two men in masks
Put a gun in Mattie's back
Close the door and don't make a sound
Give us all your money or we'll blow your brains out
Poor Mr. Mattie was shakin' so bad
He gave them everything he had
Scream bloody robbery
Somebody call the police
Scream bloody honesty
Where can a man get a little relief?
Well, as expected, the cops were late

The two masked men had made their escape
Duckin' down the alley to the limousine
Man, it was a helluva scene
Oh, scream bloody robbery
Oh, somebody call the police
Scream bloody honestly
Where can a man get a little relief?
Two weeks later, Mattie sold the store
He couldn't take the city pressures anymore
He'd been the victim of unsolved crimes
A hundred and eleven -- hundred and eleven times
Scream bloody robbery
Somebody call the police
Scream bloody honesty
Where can a man get a little relief?
